Bus Interface Operation
Page 299 of 377
Misaligned data transfers when the 750GX is configured with a 32-bit data bus operate in the same way as
when configured with a 64-bit data bus, with the exception that only the DH[0–31] data bus is used. See
Table 8-7 on page 299 for an example of a 4-byte misaligned transfer starting at each possible byte address
within a double word.
